Doctorate Title: Investigation into the Use of Emergency Medical Services by Patients with Back Pain.
Doctorate Description: Back pain is a common reason for accessing EMS (Ambulance Services and ED). Much of the literature identifies back pain as a condition that is rarely life threatening and can be best managed by primary care. It is not clear if the population described in the general literature accurately represents those presenting to EMS. This study takes a pragmatic mixed methods approach to explore who accesses EMS with back pain, what care they experience, and also the experiences of clinicians who manage this patient group.
